Ostrov

[JM]

This morning I watched a Russian flick titled, “Ostrov” or the Island in English. It’s a wonderful “parable about faith and salvation” as the back of the DVD case reads and provides a look into the Eastern Orthodox mind. I put it on at 7 am this morning and have thought about it all day.
